Besides switching monitors, does anyone know how to run TheDraw on a 23" monitor? I suppose a KVM isn't out of the question either... or perhaps
running it in a shell through SynchTERM. Keeps me a tad limited in doing
some custom bbs screens <G>

Was is special about a 23" monitor that makes running TheDraw a challenge?

I don't get it. Just uh... run it like would on a 14" monitor?

Use PabloDraw instead?

It breaks it up into 3rds and displays 1/3rd of each section across the
very top of the screen. It's a WIDE screen monitor which a few dos doors
do the same thing if I run them directly at the console.

It just doesn't for some reason.

That seems to work fine, thanks.

Change the dimensions of the console window you're running TheDraw from to 80x25 for *both the Screen Buffer Size and the Window Size. This is a Windows things and not specific to TheDraw.

It sounds like you're just running a wide (wider than 80 column) console window.

I actually grabbed PabloDraw instead, the fact that it's more Xwindow friendly especially on my TDM desktop is fine.

There was another DOS utility I used to use 30 years ago, wish I could remember the name of it. It was freeware and had more features than TheDraw back then.

AcidDraw sounds familiar...
I used TheDraw for many years then found I think AcidDraw which didn't nag
so much about registering. I can't draw to save my life as it is so I wasn't about to register something I really didn't use. Now I do my own ansi coding
in VI or nano.

For now yes. For what I run a 64-bit system actually forces my radios to
be keyed 100% of the time - not good for the finals nor does it give me
a chance to do a legal ID. There's also critical issues in the linux kernel that we've supplied patches for in regard to our protocols and they keep pushing back on it. One would like to think they'd prefer to fix their stuff!

MFNOS is 8 bit... and I do believe some of my Z80 plugins for my
URONode (Eliza and Zork) are 8bit. I did some tweeks to Eliza so that
you may have "her" email you a transcript of your session for review... after all she's here to help :)

Hmm, novel use of ham radio. I used to let a friend play chess over the air with a ham down the road in my younger days. :)

There used to be packet chess players too. Don't see those since the

I rarely play games anymore, except for on the BBS. But, with vision
problems lately, computer work (whether the BBS or ham radio) has been
minimal at best lately.
